The initiative was led by gynaecology specialists who offered medical guidance and emphasised the importance of regular monitoring during pregnancy. Senior Medical Officer Dr Simardeep Kaur stated that the programme primarily targets women in their second and third trimesters, particularly those classified as high-risk, to ensure timely intervention and care.
